Click on the Learning Hub and then click on Quick Links. Let's review this Learning Hub together. First of all, We updated the Evvy AI daily workflow. You don't want to miss this amazing, amazing goodie. So if you want goodies, if you want goodies, click on goodies, type in goodies. If you want goodies, type in goodies. You should be able to see the learning hub right now. I'm not sure.

You should see the learning hub right now, guys. Now in the learning hub, we have some pretty cool things. So we have— Download your LinkedIn connections. We added the AVAI daily workflow. We added the AVAI events calendar, AVAI onboarding PDF. We added links on LinkedIn to the job changes, LinkedIn anniversaries, LinkedIn birthdays. Let me click on LinkedIn birthdays. Wow, you can see everybody's birthdays. Wow, that's amazing, guys. Come on, give me a wow in the chat. I want some wow. I want some W-O-W. In the chat, if you're watching me on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, or if you're watching me while you're sleeping, you might be asleep right now watching me. Go ahead and give me a wow in the comments. Let me see if I get a wow. It looks like Jennifer just gave me a wow. Thank you, Jennifer. Jennifer, you are awesome for the wow and for the goodies. And if you're watching this later, give me a wow later. You can just write wow later in the chat. But you know, one of the things I really like to do is send people happy birthday messages. Look how many birthday messages I sent today. And even when people are have a belated birthday, you see I have a belated birthday. I'm going to write happy belated birthday. But I'll show you like the way I did it for Jenny. I'm going to open up Jenny's profile right over here, and I'm going to click on message just to kind of show you the message that I sent her. You see this message says, "I see I missed your birthday. Did you do anything special? I want to bless you with the best day, best year ever." So I'm gonna copy that. I'm gonna put it into the Evvy AI templates. Now I have templates that you can save into Evvy AI. And by the way, if you want all my templates, just write templates in the chat. Be more than happy to send you all the templates that we have. And, uh, thank you Jennifer for putting in the exact template that I have over there. Jennifer just put it in the chat, but I'm gonna go ahead and write this, this template. I'm gonna say happy.

Belated birthday.

And then in the tag, I'm just gonna write message cuz it's a message. And then I'm gonna put in the happy belated birthday here and I'm gonna hit save template. Now what I can do is when I'm in Evvy AI, I can pull up this happy belated birthday and then just dump it right in. I can pull up this template and dump it right into Evvy AI, right into LinkedIn I should say. So I'm gonna click on Kenneth, and then I'm just going to paste it right in here because I have it right in my templates. So this makes my life so much easier. Look how many birthday messages I'm able to send. Even these belated birthday messages, I'm able to send them really, really quickly because I have this simple workflow of using Evvy AI templates. Now, if you just send generic messages to people on LinkedIn, it doesn't work as well as sending these very specific messages. So go ahead and write templates in the chat if you want to be able to see Some more of my templates, 'cause I'm willing to bear it all. I'm willing to show you every single one of my templates and help you be able to grow your business. So hit that repost button if you're ready to repost this puppy. Repost. How do you repost something? You go to my profile, you click on recent activity, and you click that little arrow on top of arrow, and you hit that repost button. Boom. It looks like we got one repost so far. Who reposted it? Let me check. Yes, Jennifer just reposted it. Thank you. James just sent me a message. He wrote, get your ass in gear. Okay, I'll get my ass in gear. I'll get my ass in gear. That's what he said.

He said, get your ass in gear.

I'm gonna go ahead and keep sending these belated birthday messages. Now, I usually time myself just to see how long it takes me to send all these messages, but as you can see, I'm just sending them one at a time over here. And I'm almost done. I got like 5 left and then I'm done for the day. There's no more birthdays over here. I can move on to Facebook if I want and start sending these on Facebook. And Evie AI, by the way, is gonna be working on Facebook. So if you sign up to Evie AI Pro in a, just a couple of weeks, we're gonna have something called a side panel. And our side panel extension's gonna work on every single website for Evie AI Pro users. You'll be able to use it everywhere. I'm so excited. about the, the technology that we're going to be launching very soon. So if you plan on getting Pro next year, you may as well get it now because we're offering a crazy deal, a crazy, crazy deal. So I highly recommend you check out what we have to offer and what we're doing here because we really want to help people be able to take their life and their business to a whole new, whole new level. And in order for us to be able to support you properly, we need to be able to know that you exist. So go ahead in the comments, let me know that you exist. Let me know what you're up to. Let me know what you do for a living. I'd love to check you out on LinkedIn to support you and your goals. I see Kurt Schmidt, who's an agency growth expert, just liked my post. So let me pull up Kurt's profile right here and give him a little profile love. I'm gonna give him a little profile love. So Kurt Schmidt is a first-degree connection. He's an agency growth expert, an ex-action sports pro. Oh, and an Inc. 5000 leader. That's amazing. I love Inc. 5000 leaders. Okay, I'm gonna ask him. I'm gonna say, how does it feel to be amazing? I'm gonna send him a little message here and see if he's on. And if he's on, I see 2023. We connected. I sent him a message. I said, "Meet Kurt, president and partner at Foundry, a software designer." Da da da da da da. And then he said, "Thanks, Joe." I said, "Definitely." And I said, "Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter," because he subscribed to my newsletter. And then I wished him happy birthday in June. And then he said, "Thank you." And I said, "You're welcome." And then I happy happy birthday again in June. And and that's our relationship. Our relationship is that I wish him a happy birthday every every so every once in a while. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to hit save profile. I'm going to save Kurt's profile to Evvy AI. I'm also going to save his profile, save his posts, and now I'm able to see everything that he's about. And I see that he posted 5 days ago, so I'm going to go ahead and click on his profile here on his posts. And then I'm going to look at his video, really cool video he has here. I'm going to give him a like, and then I'm going to be one of 3 comments that actually commented on his post. Now you see Scott and Gabriella use the default LinkedIn. A comment that says, great share, Kurt, great share, Kurt. What I'm going to do is instead of just saying great share, Kurt, I'm actually going to tag him and I'm going to leave him a proper comment. If you want to learn how to grow your business, you have to learn how to leave proper comments for people on LinkedIn. And that will really accelerate what you're doing on the platform. Leaving proper comments is the name of the game. Kurt says, I'm only as amazing as it feels to be featured on the show. I said, that's awesome. That is awesome. You are really something special. What year were you on the Inc. 5000? So I'm building rapport with Kurt, building a little bit of a relationship, checking him out. By the way, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pull up Kurt's information over here. And I'm going to use one of my LinkedIn Chrome extensions called the LinkedIn Post Collector. And I'm going to clear out all the posts that I already have collected here. And I'm going to go to his recent activity right over here by going to Evy AI, see recent activity. And I'm going to pull up all of his recent activity here. And I'm actually going to go ahead and scroll down and start loading up his posts here on LinkedIn just to kind of See all of his recent posts. Now, sometimes LinkedIn takes a minute or two to kind of show me all of his posts, but I can go back a couple of months and just kind of see how often Kurt posts here on LinkedIn. I see I'm already 2 months back. Let me see how far I can get. Kurt, I'm curious to know how often you post on LinkedIn. And I love inspecting people's strategies and taking a look at what they're doing and using artificial intelligence. To help me make sense out of who this amazing connection is as an agency growth expert and ex-Ashton Sports Pro and Inc. 5000 leader. Okay, I'm going to go here. I was featured on the Inc. 5000 in 2012 for my company, my agency, Ajax Union. And now I'm very focused on this artificial intelligence technology called Evy AI. So I'm going to take 60 of his posts. I'm going to hit collect posts. Now I have all of his posts. Now I'm going to sort and filter his posts by most recent, uh, by posts that have the most comments. I see this post over here from 6 days ago had the most comments. The post from 5 months ago had the most likes. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the bottom here. I'm going to hit export as CSV. So I just downloaded a CSV with his last 60 posts from the past 6 months. Now I'm going to go to Claude. I'm going to go to Claude and I'm going to go ahead and take this post. I'm just going to drag it right into Claude and I'm going to say, please analyze these posts from the last 6 months from Kurt and let me know what are the themes that he has in his posts and what are his common elements, his common quotes, and the things that he does. Tell me some fun facts about him when networking with him based on his posts and tell me things that most people don't know about him based on all of his posts. All right, let's just see what it comes up with. Based on his last 6 months of posts. So let's see, it's analyzing LinkedIn.

Oh my God, what's he doing over here?

It's writing some code. I'll help analyze LinkedIn posts. Let me first read and analyze the data. Oh my God, I do a whole analysis over here using React or something. So Kurt hosts the Schmidt List podcast featuring conversations with business leaders. He frequently discusses topics like leadership, networking, business growth, and client relationships. He authored books including The Little Book of Networking. He authored The Little Book of Networking? I had no idea. He appears on business consultant, coaches, entrepreneurs, content themes, leadership and management, networking, business growth, podcasting, common elements and posts. Wow, that's epic. That is really epic. I am so impressed by you, Kurt. That's really, really awesome. Kurt, I'm curious to know what your experience is with Evvy AI. Have you been using Evvy AI, your LinkedIn sales assistant? And if yes, tell me what you've been doing with it. I'm really curious to know. I'm going to go ahead, click on the messaging tab here to see if Kurt sent me any messages. And by the way, Kurt, if you want— oh, he said he was featured in 2021 and 2022, 2 years in a row.

Wow.

That's super impressive. And then he said, 2 to 4 times per week. I spend most of my time in the DMs. I'm going to give him a round of applause. I'm going to say nice. And then I'm going to use Evie AI and I'm going to say, how often are you using artificial intelligence in your networking?

I love that you authored a book about business networking. Okay.

I'm going to go ahead and press insert. And then you see, I just wrote something up with Evie AI. I'm also going to go to his profile and I'm going to pull his profile from LinkedIn using my LinkedIn profile saver. It's going to pull up all his information, including his email address. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to try to grab his cell phone number as well, using this third-party tool here. See if we can grab his cell phone number. No cell phone number found. That's totally fine. I have other tools that I can grab his cell phone number with. In this case, I'm just going to send it to my CRM. I went ahead and I sent his information to my CRM. I'm also gonna copy this and then I'm gonna go in here and I'm gonna ask Claude to create for me a CRM helper overview that we include with Evy AI. So I'm gonna go ahead and build this out right over here while I'm checking out his information. I'm gonna grab his email address and just quickly look him up just to see if he is. Um, involved with anything that we're involved with here at Evie AI. And it looks like he is connected to me on LinkedIn. Um, Evie AI, he used Annual at some point.

That's cool.

I'm curious to know like what your thoughts are about Evie AI, Kurt. Um, and if you used it, what did you think about it? Did you enjoy using it? Um, and of course I value your opinion.

So if there's any feedback that you have for us, I'd love to get your feedback.

LinkedIn comments. All right, so let me take a look at the LinkedIn comments that people are asking over here. I'm going to refresh instead of most relevant. I'm going to click on most recent.

Okay.

Joe as a pro user is asking, okay, Joe as an Evvii AI pro user introducing 2 people on LinkedIn, how can I best help them given the context that they're an EvAI yearly member? So somebody's already an EvAI Pro yearly member and you want to be able to help them on LinkedIn.

By the way, um, they asked a specific question. Can you help me answer this question, please? Introducing 2 people on LinkedIn. Okay. Do you want—

where do I find the question?

Mike Larkin asked via EvAI.

Okay, so is it on Evie AI? Hang on.

The best way to introduce people—the best way to introduce two people on LinkedIn—is typically if you have their email addresses to connect them via email.

That would be the best thing to do. The best way to connect people is via email. Yeah, I, um, I know he introduced me to somebody and it was very, very nice.

It looks like Kurt said, I just signed up to try it out.

I've been aware of it. Thank you, Kurt, for signing up.

Kurt, I don't know if you're aware, but we do have a, um, a special going on on Evie AI Pro, a holiday deal going on. I'm going to ask you right now in the DM, did you Know about our holiday deal? Do you know about our holiday deal?

We are giving out $20K worth of training on us for the holidays for those that sign up to Evvy AI Pro. Did you hear about it?

Okay, let's just see what it says. It usually gives me some ideas and unique ways to reach out.

He said here and there. Okay, cool.

Yeah, artificial intelligence, Kurt, has been a complete, complete, complete game changer. Complete and total game changer for me, both as an agency owner, an entrepreneur, a father, a networker, a relationship builder.

It has been a complete and total game changer. Why?

because it helps me save so much time. I'm going to pull up Maria's profile over here. Maria, good to see you on LinkedIn, all the way from British Columbia. I just came from Vancouver. There is Vancouver. Vancouver, Maria. Swiftcoover. What? Oh, Swiftcoover. Yeah, I just came back from Swiftcoover. Maria, I don't know, I don't know if you know this, but Taylor Swift was just in Vancouver. Did you notice that, Maria? Let me ask Maria. Maria, did you see?

Did you see Taylor in Vancouver? Let's just see what she writes. Let's see.

I just okay, okay. Well, I'm curious to know if she actually went to go see Taylor Swift while she was out there. Let's see over here. He wrote, "I did not. I've been using Aware for a while now, but I'm very interested in your approach and platform is taking in the approach that your platform is taking." Ooh, I wanna chat with Kurt. Kurt, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to bring Kurt on live right now. See if he wants to join me live. It would be very interesting. This is the first time that I'm gonna be doing this where I am going to actually ask Kurt to join me on video now if he wants to join.

If you want to join me on the show right now, use that link and let's talk about about your business.

All right, let's see if he, let's see if he goes for it. If he decides to click on that link and join me live on LinkedIn, I think it would be fabulous to have him join me live on LinkedIn. And if Tammy, if you want to join live on LinkedIn. Unfortunately not. I heard it on the radio. Well, you missed out. On an amazing. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Next time, do you love friendship bracelets? I made one for Evie AI because Evie AI is my friend. Let's see. Oh wow! Oh wow.

Hello, hello, Kurt. It's good to see you on LinkedIn and inside the— inside Restream.

It's good to see you.

Wow, it's amazing. It's amazing, amazing. So you're a LinkedIn nerd and a networking expert, am I right?

Yeah, I spend, uh, probably most of my time on LinkedIn.

You spend most of your time on LinkedIn. LinkedIn has really changed the game for me, like literally 24/7. I have clients in 37 countries around the world right now, and I could be on LinkedIn Live at 3 in the morning and people sign in and they talk to me and it's just a 24/7 networking event, really. It's really just incredible.

Yeah, I think that's the mindset that people forget is that they think it's a social network when it's really just a business conference that's going on 24/7, 365 days a year. Um, a year, and you've got to approach it as if it's— if you're at a live event. And I always joke because I say the reason why nobody cares about, uh, your company profile is because the booth is empty. There's nobody there. Everybody knows nobody's there. So why go to the company profile when you could go right to the, to the source?

You go straight to the source. And by the way, with Evvy AI, you now can search Instagram, Google, X, YouTube. So I'm searching YouTube and I'm finding you on YouTube just with the click of a button from your profile. How cool is that? So I just found your agency growth. Which one should I look at? The Schmidt List podcast or the agency growth?

You can look at some of my old biking videos if you scroll down a little bit.

Really?

Oh, these are your? Yeah. If you go down in the news.

Yeah. Oh wow. Kurt Schmidt, KRT Schmidt. Wow. You're a total rock star. Look at you with your BMX bike. Woo. Look at that. That is insane. I do rollerblading, but BMXing— wow, you're amazing. How long ago was this? 10 years?

Uh, this was in the late '90s.

Wow, you are a total, total rock star. Look at you with your wheel moving it around. Can you still ride a bike like that?

Oh God, no. Oh geez.

Wow, you probably need a lot of body strength for that, right?

Yeah, you do. Well, you know, I, I ride mountain bikes now, so—

Oh, mountain bikes. Okay. Okay. I do rollerblading. That's cool. So if I Google you, Schmidt Consulting Group comes in. I wonder if your book comes up over here on the first page of Google.

I'm going to write the little—

I don't know if it would.

The little networking book. Let's just see what comes up.

The Little Book of Networking.

Let's see. Yeah.

Wow. So this is it. This is your Little Book of Networking. Yeah. I think, I think I saw somebody have a book. I think it was Jeffrey Gitomer. He wrote the Little Black Book on Networking or something like that.

You heard of it? Yep.

The Little Book of Networking. I like that. Why'd you call it the Little Book? Is it like literally tiny?

Yeah, it's small. It's meant to be read within like a 2-hour flight.

Oh, I love that. I also wrote one that's meant to get read on a 2-hour flight called High Energy Networking. Have you heard of that one?

No.

Yeah, this is, this is a book I wrote.

Oh, that's cool. I'm gonna get that.

Yeah, High Energy Networking. I really get into lots and lots of details about my experience experience with networking. So it's always interesting to see people that share their experience and write about the ideas and concepts that— oh, this is your KRTS one.

Very, very cool. I love it.

I love checking people out and seeing what they're up to.

That's awesome.

And seeing where they're at. So this is our holiday deal, by the way, just in case you want to know. And for all the other listeners out here, we're offering $20,000 worth of training for people that sign up now to Evvii AI Pro. So we're, we've launched Pro for $984 a year that we're giving it half off, which is, it's usually $2,000 a year. We're giving it off for $984 a year.

Plus you'll get unlimited posts, unlimited comments, unlimited messages, unlimited connection notes, unlimited recommendations, and all the other jazz that we're adding. To Evvy AI Pro.

So if you grab this deal right now, um, for Evvy AI Pro for the year, it's only a couple hundred dollars more than Premium, and you save so much money by getting all these amazing, amazing deals on us. So that's, that's the thought process.

I just signed up a recruiter that has 12 people.

He said it's gonna change the game for his business because if he gets one client, he could generate $100,000.

Oh yeah. So that's, that's great.

Yeah, I love it. I'm gonna— I'm definitely gonna kick the tires on this over the Christmas break here, um, in the next day or two and give it a try. I've tried a lot of different tools over the— well, since ChatGPT obviously came out, and but prior to that I was using some third-party proprietary like applications that weren't browser-based. For LinkedIn. And, uh, I like those because I don't, I don't usually like the Chrome extension, yeah, um, based ones as much.

Um, we don't— just so you know, we don't use your LinkedIn cookie. We don't even know what LinkedIn—

No, I know, I know.

Just FYI.

No, that's why I was gonna say, that's why I'm actually interested in yours, because you don't use the LinkedIn cookie.

Um, because LinkedIn knows that you're using those things, and a lot of people think when you use the cookie, like Taplio uses the cookie, and they write on their thing, we don't comply with LinkedIn LinkedIn terms because they want your cookies so that they can browse other people's profiles and then they end up screwing up your account.

Yeah, exactly. And that's the thing that, um, I think it's important that people learn out there is, is those— I beware of those, those ones that look so simple because the, because the Chrome extension or the cookie will allow you to like automate things, but it's dangerous.

Yeah, those are dangerous. Those, though, because you don't even know what they're doing with your cookie.

They could be doing anything and somebody else can get access to your cookie and then you're done. You're cooked.

Well, they're, they're building lists off of your connections for, to, to resell to people and say, oh, look at how many connections we've got to sell you. You know?

Yeah. You don't wanna do that. You don't wanna give them access to your cookie.

Your cookie is like everything.

So that's very dangerous. So yeah, so we make sure not to use your cookie at all, and you can verify that in our extension. And, you know, all we do is we're a content generation tool. We'll take the content from LinkedIn, send it to ChatGPT.

Yeah, I think it's great.

And then, and we include prompts so you don't have to worry about prompts or anything like that. And we also give you the ability to have templates. So for example, if I wanna send you, uh, a message, I can go into Evie AI right here in, in the DM, and then I can click on templates and I have all these different templates.

If I wanna wish you happy holidays, I just press insert with this template and I don't have to think about it.

I don't even have to use the AI if I don't want to. I could have unlimited amount of templates that I can save in Evie AI. We also have personas.

Mm-hmm.

So, um, you're able to select different personas.

So for example, if I wanted to leave a comment on Max's profile here, And I wanted to leave him a comment related to my book, High Energy Networking, I would pick a persona related to high energy networking. I'd generate, and not only will it talk about high energy networking and tie it in, but it'll include a link to the book with a picture of the book built into it. Okay. So now I leave a comment and now my book, I promoted my book.

Yeah, that makes sense.

And, and that's just a click of a button instead of like sitting there promoting whatever.

So, so I was gonna ask you too, like if I'm, uh, also managing a couple of LinkedIn profiles, would I sign up each individually separately too?

We do recommend separating them out simply because when you separate them out, if the client ever wants to be able to use it or log in and see the activity, the activity will be separate.

Got it.

But technically speaking, if they're all in your company, you could just have one account. But if you're— if it's for—

Yeah, 'cause I saw there's a team section, right?

Yeah, so if it's for your clients, you could get a Teams account for your clients and then just log into each one separately. But you wanna be able to keep the activity in the backend. So if I go into Heavy AI and I click on home, you see all the activity. You wanna keep this activity separate and not mix.

Yeah.

The activity, because later what we're gonna do with all the activity is we're gonna throw all the activity back into AI and help be able to turn that into something. So you wanna have a good repository of activity that's separated by account. Um, and this way you won't have to like sit down and like worry about, you know, like right now we have a lot of activity over here that I have, uh, broken down for myself.

You see that? Um, yeah, you could see.

And the same thing with saved profiles. Each one of your clients, you're gonna have different types of saved profiles. So you don't wanna mix the saved profiles from each account. And so I would recommend getting a Teams account. And with, with a Teams account, when you click on subscription, you can decide how many clients you have and add as many as you want. And we charge you a subscription for each client.

Got it.

So, um, it's $180 per year per member.

Mm-hmm.

Um, and then you can get as many as you want. You can just press up, up, up, add whatever you want, then click on teams, and then you can add the email addresses here, invite them, and boom, they have an account. Very cool. And this way you're also, they're also transparent with what you're doing on their account. They can go in and see the saved profiles as well.

So you're actually building an asset for them and giving them access to this tool in a way that will allow them to be able to access everything that we have to offer.

We also have a really great community as well. A lot of the other tools that are out there, they don't have a, a LinkedIn community.

We have 666 members currently. They're engaged LinkedIn users.

So it's a great place to network and build relationships and get to know people. People ask all sorts of questions and then we answer in, in great detail. We also have a posting party on Mondays. So this past Monday we had one. Next Monday we're having one where people come together, do their elevator pitch, get to know each other, and then everybody posts. You can see how many people we have here.

Rick and Charlene and Dharma and Lana and Howard and Christy.

And Murray and Sylvian and Renee and John and Honey and Chris and Anna and all these other people. They go through and they post their most recent post here.

And then we all go ahead and like and comment on each other's posts.

We're not doing this to game the algorithm. We're doing this because we just wanna support each other and build relationships. And we don't do this every day either. We do this about 25 times a year or so. Um, and that's a great way for us to kind of get to know each other and have real people on LinkedIn that are engagers. A lot of our connections are not really engaging very often on LinkedIn. Yeah. And so we, it's nice to have a group of people that are happy to engage on content and it's really, really powerful.

Just tell me, um, tell me about the templates that everything looks pretty straightforward. Give me, um, a use case for the templates.

Um, so I'll give you a couple use cases for the templates. If I go into Evvy AI and I click on templates over here, You'll notice that I have templates with links, templates with comments. Mm-hmm. Templates with messages, with prompts, with, so these are all the different tags. So if you click on tags, you'll see these are the 6 different ways that I use templates. And there are probably many more ways to use it, but I use it to send out DMs that I don't want to sit there and, uh, have AI write something. I know exactly what I wanna say.

So I have a certain amount of messages. I have prompts.

So for example, if I want to generate a specific type of comment or a specific type of post, I have pre-created prompts in here that I use. And eventually this is going to work on ChatGPT and in, in, um, in Claude and in all the other sites. So you'll be able to use these prompts everywhere.

We'll have a whole prompt library that you can use as well. So for now you can use templates as prompts.

I have comments that are very specific types of comments that where I don't want the AI to leave those comments, I will then create several comments that I can use in different scenarios.

Mm-hmm.

I have spe— let's say I have specific connection notes that I want to send out. Um, I want to include those as templates. For example, I have a specific networking group that I'm part of, and if I ever meet a guest at that networking group, I don't want to have to sit there and say, hey, it was great to meet you at EANYC. Hope you enjoyed the lunch. Let's connect on LinkedIn and get to know each other. I want to have that as a template in my connection note because it's a situation, a scenario that I'm in. And it's a frequent scenario that I use constantly.

Yeah, that makes sense. I do a lot of webinars to drive prospects and yeah, using something like this would be great for messaging.

And I don't know if, I don't know if you use Loom a lot, but I have a lot of Looms. I have over 100 Looms. So often I'll create specific Looms with situations. So I have a Loom category with all my different Looms so I can just inject Looms into places.

Oh, cool.

Go ahead.

No, that's cool.

And then I just have links. You know, often I'll have a link I want to share and I'll just save the link as a template. So if I ever want to inject a link somewhere, so for example, if I'm in the DM with you, I'm going to click on message you and I want to send you a link to our holiday video. I don't want to have to think about where the link is or whatever. I just go in here and I can find that holiday video right here. The video link, it's right here and I press insert. And now I just sent you the link to the holiday video.

Hmm. I don't have to sit there and wonder, okay, where's that video?

I know it's in the links. So anything that I ever need to link to frequently, I'll include it in the links templates as Evvii links.

That saves me a ton of time as well.

Maria says, I love Evvii, keeps me, saving me so much time.

I'm still not using 100% of it.

I'm gonna say, I can only imagine.

And then I'm gonna say, um, Do you want to join the posting party on Monday?

So now I'm inviting her to this posting party. So we're doing posting parties on a regular basis to kind of just network and build relationships and get to know people.

And like I said, we have 15,000 users in 37 countries around the world right now, Kurt.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you. Where, where are you based these days?

I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Okay, cool. Must be really cold there.

Yeah, right now it's actually really nice. It's in the 30s.

Oh, no way. It's like 26 in New Jersey.

Yeah, it's crazy.

You guys have it easy then.

Right now we do. It was— it just was below zero for a few days, but it bounced back.

Wow, that's really fantastic.

Congratulations.

Thanks. All right, well, I'll let you go so you can keep going on your live, but thanks for taking the time and, uh, and highlighting my stuff, and I appreciate all the kind words and Thanks for pointing this tool out. I'm definitely gonna, um, I'm really gonna put it through its paces over the next few days, and I'll, I'll ping you if I have any specific questions.

I appreciate that. By the way, what do you like about Aware?

You mentioned that you use Aware. What do you like about that?

Um, I like that, um, it allows me to really stay tracking, um, uh, posts of people that I'm, that I'm like specifically trying to stay In touch with so I can comment and engage with their—

Is it, is it kind of like this where you have a list of, let's say for example, Gary Vaynerchuk?

I'm going to go to Gary Vee.

Yeah. I'm going to go to influencers. So I have a list of influencers over here. I'm going to go ahead and select 50 at a time. And these are all the different influencers that I want to stay top of mind with, like Gary Vaynerchuk, Alex Hormozi, Cody Sanchez, Richard Moore, Ridge Hoffman, whatever. Bill Gates. So if I wanna see Bill Gates's latest posts, I just click here and it just loads up all of his recent posts. I don't have to think about when he posted or whatever. I just have it all here. And if I wanna leave a comment, I can use Evvy AI. I can change my persona to, to leave him, let's say for example, a persona that's optimized.

I press, uh, go.

Hmm.

And then it just writes a comment on Bill Gates's post and boom, there you go.

I stay top of mind with Bill Gates.

Is it, is it similar to like this idea where you have a list of influencers like that and you can check to see if they commented?

Yeah, it's similar to this. Yeah.

So this, yeah, so this is all included in Evie AI.

But it's not as like, it's not as robust as what you're showing me by any means.

Okay.

What does it, what does it do? Is it—

It basically just shows me a list of like recent activity and allows me to, um, use AI to dump in a quick comment or Um, it doesn't actually take you to LinkedIn and show you recent posts.

Got it.

Okay.

What I like about this is when I go to their recent activity on LinkedIn, they get a profile view. And as a result of the profile view, I show up in their recent activity.

Yeah. Which I like that idea better.

Yeah. Cause it's kind of like kills two birds with one stone and lets me also be able to message them. It's like I'm really using LinkedIn versus when I'm using Taplio, I'm kind of doing it behind the scenes. They're using my cookie. I don't know what they're doing with it. I don't know. I get paranoid about that stuff.

I don't like it either. I used to, I used to, you know, when, when that stuff first started really kicking off, I, I used to do that a lot. But then when I learned what that's actually, how they're actually making it work, I was like, oh, like, no, no.

Yeah. Yeah.

And they're using, they're using you to monitor those posts. So it's like, yeah, you're monitoring it anyway.

You might as well actually monitor it, you know?

Right. No, I like this. I like this. I'm gonna, I'm gonna really dive in. I, I can't see why I wouldn't sign up for this. So I appreciate it. I'm glad I got to you today.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate you very much, Kurt, and I'm looking forward to continuing to check out your content and seeing what you have to offer.

You as well. Thanks. Keep up the good work, man. I really, I really enjoy your videos.

Thank you. And thank you for joining me live here today.

All right. Have a good one.

All right. You too. Take care.

All right. Bye.

So guys, this is what it's about. It's about building real relationships with your connections. Now check this out. I'm going to click on this CRM thing for Kurt. And what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to pull up Kurt's profile in my CRM. So I have a CRM that, by the way, all of you are going to get access to the CRM if you sign up to Heavy AI Pro. You're going to get access to the CRM right here. So now what I can do is I can take Kurt's information and then put it right here into my CRM. And as a matter of fact, I'm going to take all his information right from here and put it in as a note in my CRM so I can have it later. You see that? I just searched fun facts about him, key skills, his education. He has a dog named Miley. He's a former top action sports star. His birthday is June 20th.

He's an active outdoor enthusiast and an avid nonfiction reader.

So look how incredible this is. In just a few seconds, I'm able to identify his ideal client, about his company, about him. You can see he's a former action sports star turned business leader who scaled companies from 50 to 500 employees, 2-time Inc. 5000 recipient, author of Little Book on Networking, The 10/10/10 Blueprint, host of the Schmidt List podcast, and 20 years experience in growing professional service companies. This, ladies and gentlemen, is incredible. And now he's in my CRM. I can tag him that we had a conversation over here.

So I'm going to go ahead in my tags and I'm going to say conversation 2024.

Boom. He is tagged. I have his LinkedIn URL right here.

You see, oop. I'm going to copy his LinkedIn URL right into here.

And then I'm going to paste it just to kind of see what comes up. Make sure that he's saved into HeavyAI. You see he's saved. I can also add him to a list right here.

So I'm going to put him in as a Conversation 2024 in HeavyAI.

And now he's all saved up. I got him all ready to go. I'm going to give him a little endorsement as well. Might as well for consulting because he just consulted with me. And I see that he's received a recommendation October 17th, which is pretty good. 2024, so it's pretty recent. I'm going to go ahead and leave him a recommendation right now.

So I'm going to hit recommend, select. Kurt was a client and then founder of Schmill Consulting Group. Kurt is an expert at LinkedIn and artificial intelligence. He loves helping agencies grow and he has an amazing podcast and he's a great author, highly recommended. Okay, I'm going to hit generate. It's going to go ahead and generate a thoughtful recommendation based on the things that I just said with my own voice.

So I'm curious to know Who is your target market? Who are you looking to connect with?

Who are you looking to build relationships with? Check out what I'm building over here. So I have this like LinkedIn post thing that I create, that I'm creating right over here.

And let me know if this is something that you would want.

I am building out this like LinkedIn post thing where it has the prompt templates here.

So I'm able to create all these different types of LinkedIn posts. Now I'm gonna tell the visual structure. I'm gonna tell the AI, which AI am I using?

I'm not even keeping track of which AI I'm using over here. I think I'm using this one. I was using that. Was I using this one? Maybe. I'm gonna go back to Claude. Everlasting LinkedIn posts.

And I'm gonna say, oop, chat is getting too long.

You reached your limits. Reaching your limits. Let's see. Chat is getting too long. Okay. Let me start a new chat and see if It can help me be able to make sense out of all this. Start a new chat. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna drop in, I'm gonna drop in these. Let's see. Here are 15. I'm gonna go to it and I'm gonna say, here are 15. Here are 15 post format types that you helped me create in a new, in a different chat. I need you to help me identify visual elements For each one. Let me go here. Is that what I want? I want visual elements. I'm going to do View, Freeze, Row 1. Visual structure, visual structure guidelines. I need you to help me with visual structure guidelines for each one. All right, let's see what it does. Wow, it's doing it.

Design with—

help you create visual structure guidelines for each format. Let's analyze each one and create consistent oriented framework. Create a prompt and visual scribe for each format, organized in the way maintains consistency and highlighting unique attributes of each type. Each format has been designed for both aesthetic and appeal and functional peace of mind, enduring ensuring elements reinforce the core elements for each way. So I'm going to say This is for LinkedIn posts. I need visual element guidelines for that type of medium for each one. I understand. Let me create specific visual structure guidelines. For LinkedIn posts. Oh, look at that, it's doing it. Wow. Okay, LinkedIn format, no rich text, mobile reading experience, platform-specific engagement patterns and hierarchy, emojis and spacing. Let's see. Hook. Wow. Opening hook, movement 1, pattern map. Current model.

So what it's doing is it's creating visuals for each one.

Let's see. Use line breaks, double spacing, and enter. Limit 1 to 2 lines for mobile readability. Use emojis strategically as visual anchors. Capitalize letters for emphasis. Use whitespace and chunks for text. Keep paragraphs short, 2 to 3 lines maximum, and use LinkedIn's native formatting options. No fancy styling. Very interesting. Very interesting. I don't really love the way it did this here. Let me go see if we can find refactoring database, defining post styles. Let's see what this is about.

Let me look at this visualization guide.

Arrow Flow Style, Minimalist Wisdom Style, Hook and Offer Style. Let's see what this is, LinkedIn Post Analysis Worksheet. Oh wow, look at this. LinkedIn Post Visualization Guide, Questions, Brainstorming. Create brainstorming content prompts for each style so people can create outline posts quicker. Wow, that's cool. So this is for metaphor and bantle style brainstorming, hook and offer style brainstorming, minimalist wisdom style brainstorming. I love that. Create 3 questions authors can answer. From, from the answers of those questions, a ghostwriter can create a post.

I'm going to save his profile into Evy AI. But before I do that, here are some specific LinkedIn article guide. Here's a guide, The Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn's 10 Most Impactful Posts. Ever wonder why some LinkedIn posts consistently get high engagement while others fall flat? Often it's not about the content, it's about how you structure and present it.

I've analyzed thousands of high-performing LinkedIn posts and analyzed 10 distinct styles that drive engagement. There's the arrow flow style, a visually distinctive format that uses arrows to create structured, easy-to-scan content that builds momentum through progressive points.

The data insight style.

It's a data-driven format that presents research, statistics, and analysis in a structured, authoritative way. The minimalist wisdom style. It's a clean, stripped-down format focused on fundamental truths and principles.

It's a hook and offer style. What it is, it's a direct promotional style that moves quickly to clear call to action.

A metaphor and banter style, light conversational format. A narrative style, tutorial narrative style, is an educational format that combines storytelling with practical instruction. Personal journey style, it's a vulnerable, authentic that shares personal experiences. A quick formula style, simple time-bound format that delivers immediate results. A curated list style, a comprehensive resource sharing format that provides organized valuable collections. And then a relatable experience style, which is a connection-focused format that builds community through shared experiences and solutions. How to choose your style, your goal, your content type, your audience preferences, your brand story, and then your desired outcome. Oh, I love this. I love messing with this stuff here. I'm going to click on see all. Visual Elements Guideline for 15 Posts. Insight into Kurt, Elevating Your LinkedIn Post Formats. Let me find this over here and go up here. Wow, there's a lot of back and forth here. I'm going to go here and I'm going to say Elite Viral Post Formats. I'm going to look for the, Impact Accelerator. This is the complete LinkedIn post format. This is the LinkedIn strategy format. This is the elite formats. Let me see. Oh wow, look at this. It broke them all down here. That's crazy. Advanced post formats. Look at this. The micro case study format, the trend analysis cascade, the expert interview synopsis, the innovation spotlight matrix, the comparative analysis framework, the research-backed revelation. Oh my God, there's so many. So many here. And then I broke down every single one of them over here. I started with one at a time. Best practices, content tips, engagement tips, visual tips, maintain consistent spacing, add symbols purposely, create clear hierarchy, keep sections distinct. Look at that. Triple spacing, use symbols, visual elements for direct results, for opening hook. For growth points, for transformation markers, and for fortune predictions, for future predictions. Triple space. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take each one of these and break it down into the hook section, the initial impact, the amplification, wave 1, wave 2, wave 3, wave 4, and then the engagement and hook.

Guys, we have a lot of work to do cuz this is for every single prompt. For every single guide. There's so much to do here.
